SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A U.S. Army major and 2 of his family members have been indicted in federal court in Texas. They're accused of taking bribes from Defense Department contractors in 2004 and 2005. Major John Cockerham was a contract officer. He and his wife, Melissa, are accused of taking at least $9.6 million in bribes while Cockerham was stationed in Kuwait. Major Cockerham was responsible for contracts for Defense Department services, including bottled water for soldiers in Kuwait and Iraq. The Cockerhams were arrested last month at Fort Sam Houston, where the major had been reassigned. His sister, Carolyn Blake, was arrested on suspicion of helping the couple accept and deposit money in offshore accounts. The charges include bribery, conspiracy, money laundering and obstruction. The Cockerhams are being held without bond. The sister is free on bail.
